Moody College of Communication Career Services Guide

The goal of this guide is to inspire people who are looking for work in the field of journalism to take a comprehensive approach in discovering and evaluating available opportunities. While the grand variety of positions and engagements cannot all be listed here, we aspire to name several types of work that are possible and to encourage users of this guide to delve further and be curious about what more is out there. For clarity, this guide includes many opportunities that are considered full-time and are largely geared to people who are no longer students. This guide does not include internships or part-time positions. Thus far, we have eight major divisions, in terms of types of resources, that people seeking work in journalism might encounter. The contributions to this guide came from many sources including working journalists, professors of journalism, students of journalism and more. The resources were compiled by Katrina L. Spencer, a student at the University of Texas at Austin, and Meryl Brodsky, the library liaison to communications and information science at the same institution. Please contact us about journalism job sources that you know of. We started this Guide in the winter of 2024.
